1. I Believe in Me.

I stand before you, not a girl, not a teen, but a person with ideas and thoughts and a voice to be heard. I can stand tall, I can be proud, I can be better, I can be the best. 'Better than the rest' they say, I'd be that, one day, maybe, or not. Stand in my way and I'll avoid it, I'm not the best when it comes to the rest. I can overcome separation anxiety friendships friend's depression, but confront me, I'll cower, You'll tower empowering yourself as you indulge in my resentment, but I'll grow as a person. I'll learn to grow. One day I'll know how to deal with low esteem. Push boundaries hold doors open instead of letting them close. Staring at the clouds, but making them into shapes, instead of waiting for them to. I will alter this world with nothing but my mind my words my ideas. My voice. I stand before you, not a girl, not a teen, not even a person. I am a voice. And I will be heard.
